Back wall does not need to reach the centre. For front just need piece of wood attached to roof joist down about three feet on front wall post, /, \. For braces size of wood not as important, 1x4 will do as well as 2x4, usually use what is handy. Ends should be cut to match floor and post. | |

Not entirely sure what you mean by "braces in the front from roof to front of the side". Diagrams may help if you would be so kind to add that. | |
